Up High in SIngapore

We're in the middle of a heatwave - well it's not the heat of Singapore, which we visited nearly 3 weeks ago. It is an INCREDIBLE city state/island - I had no idea how blown away I would be by the place. So much to do, so safe, that 4 of us could all go our own ways and find stuff to do (our musuem tastes differ!) and get back to the hotel on the fabulous MTR trains easily. The teens *loved* it (and the duck for breakfast every day!).

We splurged going up the top of the Marina Bay Hotel one night - this actually freaked me out as I am very sacred of heights - we were out on this platform thing overlooking the city. All I wanted to do was sit in the middle of the platform and not look down anywhere- even if the view was stunning (but no sitting allowed - Singapore comes across as a very conforming place...) I was too freaked to even take photos near the edge myself...

I also learnt that I just can not cope with wearing skirts and dresses in Singapore - the heat is insane and sticky after 10 minutes... ouch!
